New Spark Plugs, Coil and Intake Valve Clean | VE Commodore Daily Part 2
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2019
- We replace the Spark Plugs, diagnose and replace a faulty Ignition Coil and inspect and look at cleaning the Intake Valves in this video, the second episode in this short series on our Alloytec V6 powered VE Commodore.
After clearing several coolant related codes last time, we now turn to the Engine Warning light and our cylinder 2 misfire - code P0302. Unfortunately unlike in our first video, this won't be a free fix but we are still going about this with a budget in mind.
In the next video we will move onto trying to address the Stability Control, Airbag and ABS issues - cause safety third right?
Hope this helps, thanks for watching and please consider liking and subscribing for more if you enjoyed.

Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge with other people, I like the way how explain and talk.🤙🤙
@gurpreet singh Thanks mate that very kind, glad you enjoyed 👍
A family photo works as well Over the gauges when you’re trying to go through a roadworthy
Might be better off to leave some cash covering it if it’s for roadworthy! 🤣 Wouldn’t do it but damn that’s a funny idea, could get pricey though.
good video mate I'm a ford mechanic and am considering doing some videos the average joe will learn alot from you're videos keep it up
@BD Thanks mate! You should definitely do it, it's a lot more work than it looks but more than worth it. I'll be watching if you do for sure.
Thanks for the coolant fix bro. Mean bro all the way from NZ
@JAY_ROCC_ Glad it helped mate and awesome to have some NZ fellas in here. Cheers
Nice one mate. My VE had pretty much the same issue.
The service manual says 20 Nm for a new plugs and 18 Nm for old plugs. Intake manifold bolts are all 23 Nm. If you get GM genuine ACDelco iridium plugs you don't need to gap them, they are fine. In fact you can't gap iridium plugs without special tools because it's very easy to damage the fine electrodes.
Great vid! My car shows all symptoms you’ve just described, just waiting on my scan tool to be delivered and I’ll definitely use your video to do the same job! Thanks for uploading
@chilam1 Thanks mate and good luck.
Does your car have the same factory gas system or straight petrol? If gas it may be worth checking that it’s not a gas injector first by swapping the cylinder with the miss to a good one, they’re right on top and I’ve also had issues with one of these since.
Straight petrol. After watching your video I’m confident of the problem and confident with the fix 👍🏽
Great tips on the wipers and cowl panel removal. I struggled with the same the other day and gave up!
Thank you. I use the nulon upper cylinder cleaner to keep the valves clean. I have never lifted the manifold of so not sure if it works but engine runs well.
@Craig Bullock Glad it wasn’t just me then, that took me much longer than it should have!
If it runs well probably better not to check I guess, I know I wouldn’t have done it if it could be avoided.
Thanks for watching mate 👍
Yes, I struggled with the cowl panel, as well. This vid was the only tutorial I found with any tips at all on removing it. Absolute #%@# of a thing.
Hey mate, could you please show me how to replace the intake manifold runner control circuit. It would be greatly appreciated
Man, give me a 3.8 any day over this! Way to much work to change plugs and coils.
I totally agree
Even doing the right
Crank sensor on the 3.8 was easy compared to this new crap. But remember this motor is meant to be I a front wheel drive and the motor is turned 90 deg like east west
Great video mate. Cheers. 🤙🇦🇺
Good going mate.
Many of us will have do be doing this sort of simple car work as the economy tanks and we struggle to pay off our overwhelming housing debts, leaving precious little to spend on servicing the ol daily driver.
A penny saved is a penny earned and the good ol local mechanic charges at least 140 bucks an hours, most of which going to overheads and our large tax burden, we all carry.
Many thanks again and keep up the hard work.
PS
Could you please list the tools needed and any scan tools you use, so that we may be able to start our collections.

Hi mate and thanks. It's great to get the satisfaction of fixing something yourself and you're right, saving money along the way is definitely a big bonus!
Regarding the tools I do try to mention them in the video as I use them but perhaps I could look at listing them. I did however neglect to mention the scan tool I have been using - it's a Autel DiagLink MD802 I picked up from eBay and it's been great (ebay.to/2ocr3OA).
Further on the tools, I've just this morning put up a intro for a series I hope to do covering some great tools I use and have found along the way, perhaps this series will also be something you'll be interested in. More coming on that so keep an eye out if you're interested.
Thanks again mate and best of luck.
Happy New year's Browney🎉🥃
Thanks Tim, right back at you mate 👍
excellent vid, what sort of plugs do you reccomend for a 2011 S2 alloytech factory LPG? Cheers
When you had the plastic cowl panel off should have put a hapa filter in.The mesh screen pulls out and the cabin filter goes in on the passenger side
Yep you're right, I cleared what I could from in front of the old filter but it's filthy. Might have to get in there and do that shortly, I'd forgotten about it!
Cheers mate
You need to be a Philidephia lawyer just to change the spark plugs,great work though.
Hi with the 2 wire connectors on the back of the manifold with the sliding tabs can u mix them out after they have been disconnected by accident ,also is there any thing that points to which won goes where.
Browney that connector u had on ur vid what did that connect to, the one that has 14 volt stamped on it ,mixed mine up cant recall whats what.
Good information video
Hey Browny
Would be good if you included how the LPG Gas lines are disconnected
Hi mate my international LF 1
Engine is stalling
Any ideas ?
Thank you mate
Lpg misfire on same car Replaced and reprogrammed ECU Still same problem Runs for a while then warning and misfire New coil pack new plugs Etc tear the hair out or run on petrol only?
Great video, thanks for the tips. One thing that everybody is probably wondering but afraid to ask, how do you keep your hands so clean and smooth?
Gloves and hand cleaners 🤣 I gather, my hands are like leather I hate gloves
Great video's Browney!! My partners VE has had a new fuel pump installed but the fuel gauge is all over the place! Any idea's??
Sorry mate, that’s a new one to me and I’d just be googling it! Good luck and thanks for watching 👍
Thanks mate ;)
No worries mate, hope it helps. Cheers.
That was fucking excellent bro 👍👍🏻👍🏽 awesome video .
@JJJ’S Cheers mate 👍
hi nice video i have a 2006 vz acclaim that has no spark getting to coil 3 ie take off coil wire no difference in how it runs ,moved coil to no 1 and coil 1 to 3 and still no spark to coil 3 ,also changed injector 3 with no change and have had ecu rebuilt twice and going back for 3rd time sounds like wire feed to coil is faulty what do you reckon thanks
Hi Mike, thanks for watching.
I’m no expert but from what you’ve listed it definitely sounds like a wiring issue to that coil could be the issue. Maybe start by checking the wiring is connected properly to the plug to the coil, then trace the wire as far as you can to check for any breaks/melting etc. Could also try running it at night or in a dark garage and look for any electrical arching from damaged wiring?
Hey mate, great video. I bought this car last week, done some work on it. One of the LPG injections have snapped off where it goes into the lower block. any suggestions how to go about it? Thanks
Thanks mate.
Haven’t really looked at them so can only have a stab, guessing it’s a threaded fitting? If it’s not snapped flush with the lower manifold then you may be able to get vice grips or something onto it?
Short of that you may have to drill it out and retap it but at that stage it may be better off getting another from a wrecker and changing it out.
Sorry mate, likely won’t be fun any way you look at it.
@@BrowneysGarage Thanks for quick reply my friend. More videos please. Bikes/Cars anything. Thanks again.
Hey browney awesome video , I've got a ve 3.6l 2009 wagon it's getting a really big steering wheel shake when in idle I was told doing the coil and plugs might help any thoughts ?
When in idle not moving? Guess you're just looking at a running rough issues then, assume it probably shakes the whole car a little? If so it's going to be way to broad to have a stab at here mate but yes start looking at anything that can commonly cause misfire/rough running I'd say, so coils and plugs are a possibility.
Good luck mate 👍
@@BrowneysGarage thanks for the reply keep up the vids they are awesome
Hi Browney, I have a question about me be SV6 ute.. I recently changed and flushed my coolant. Since then my top radiator hose has popped off only on restart when hot. Do you think this is an air issue? Cheers
Sam.
Maybe just weak spring? Could try replacing the tension clamp with a worm drive style clamp?
Mate I have a PO300
Code on my International 2010
I have replaced all the coils
And plugs. After replacing them.
What else could it be ?
Thank you
@Andrew Thomas Is it running fine since doing coil and plugs though? Have you cleared the code since and had it come back?
Yes it is.
It’s due for a service soon.
I’ll get my mechanic to check it.
How did you get it off in one piece?
Inlet manifold? Leave the front passenger and rear drivers bolt in and then lift them out together.
Hi cylinder pattern are same
Vf evork 3L v6??...i got P0305 CYLINDER NUMBER 5
@Ashan Samanpriya I believe so, doubt they would have changed it, so rear most drivers side will be no. 5.
@@BrowneysGarage hi i changed and engine code gone ..but misfire til have bit..so I have to check fuel injector?
Which scan tool dis you use
It's a Autel DiagLink MD802 I picked up from eBay and it's been pretty good for everything I've needed (ebay.us/g6bbbg).
Nice i love your videos ☺️ my holden omega is still giving me shit and melting my wallet 🤣 it just picks and chooses when it wants to start and says airbag fault 🤦♀️ then it may or may not start even though it just got a new Alternator etc im ready to roll it off a cliff.
the other warnings , could be a dodgy battery
Tis a nice beard
@Zac Ash 🤣 Thanks mate
@@BrowneysGarage Good looking rooster
You're basically resurrecting it
@Obie Franklin Thanks mate 👍
